XRP Scalping with EMA Crossover Anticipation This script is designed to detect scalping opportunities on XRP by anticipating EMA crossovers, reinforced with technical confirmation filters.
Methodology
- The core signal is based on the crossover between a fast EMA (9) and a slow EMA (21).
- RSI (14) conditions are applied to avoid weak setups: RSI must be above 40 for buy signals and below 70 for sell signals.
- Before any crossover is validated, the script requires at least two consecutive “pre-crossover” signals. These indicate favorable momentum and convergence conditions before the crossover occurs.
- Final signals are only displayed if this minimum number of preconditions is met.
Application
This system is optimized for scalping on the 1-minute to 5-minute timeframes but can be adapted for longer-term setups by adjusting parameters. The anticipation logic helps reduce lagging entries and improves signal selectivity during volatile conditions.
Both pre-crossover and confirmed crossover conditions include alert options. The code is fully editable and customizable.
Z-Score Volume with CVD ConfirmationZ-Score Volume with CVD Confirmation is a volume-based confluence tool that enhances traditional volume analysis by combining Z-Score volume anomalies with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) confirmation. This indicator helps traders identify unusual volume activity that aligns with directional order flow, offering a cleaner signal for potential breakout or reversal scenarios.
🔍 Key Features:
Z-Score Calculation: Measures how extreme current volume is relative to its recent average, highlighting statistically significant surges or drops.
CVD Confirmation: Uses Cumulative Volume Delta candles (open/high/low/close) to assess buying vs. selling pressure in lower timeframes.
Bar Color Logic:
Green: High Z-Score volume confirmed by CVD bullish candle
Red: High Z-Score volume confirmed by CVD bearish candle
Other color bands show progressively strong or weak volume outliers
Real Volume Bar Heights: Volume bars retain true scale while color reflects underlying order flow strength and direction.
💡 Use Cases:
Breakout validation: Confirm price range breaks when volume surge is supported by CVD direction
Fade setups: Detect unsustainable high-volume moves lacking CVD support
Trend continuation: Spot momentum when both Z-Score and CVD align in the direction of the trend
⚙️ How to Use:
Adjust the Z-Score length to define how far back to measure average and deviation.
Select your anchor timeframe (typically 1D) and a lower timeframe for CVD calculations (e.g., 1-minute).
Use color-coded volume bars to assess volume significance and directional flow at a glance.
Add the standard volume indicator to the chart so one can compare the difference between the standard volume indicator and the Z-Score Volume with CVD Confirmation script. Useful at specific price levels and exiting ranges or not.

Apex Edge - VantageApex Edge – Vantage
Quarter-Wick Reversal System | Price Action Based | Non-Repainting | Visual Confirmation Tool
Overview:
Apex Edge – Vantage is a precision price action indicator built to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversal entries — not based on indicators, but on how candles behave at their extremes.
This tool implements a clean, repeatable framework that reflects how I personally trade:
Spot a candle that closes with strong directional intent,
Then wait for a controlled pullback into the outer quarter,
And strike — only if price respects that line.
There’s no magic here — just raw, tactical logic visualized clearly on your chart. It's not designed to predict the market — it's built to respond when price offers you Vantage.
Core Logic:
Dot Detection – Final Quarter Close Candles
A green dot prints below a bullish candle if it closes within the top 25% of its wick-to-wick range.
A red dot prints above a bearish candle if it closes within the bottom 25% of its range.
These dots signify candles that made a strong, deliberate move in one direction — where price was pushed to an extreme and held that extreme into the close. These candles often signal institutional intent or momentum imbalance.
Entry Confirmation – Controlled Wick Rebalance
On the very next candle only, price must wick into the prior dot candle's outer quarter — but must not pass beyond it.
For buy entries, the wick must enter the bottom 25% of the previous green dot candle, but not dip below it.
For sell entries, the wick must reach into the top 25% of the red dot candle, but not exceed it.
This wick into the quarter is seen as a controlled rebalancing — a tactical reaction back into the origin zone before potential continuation.
Arrow Printing – Visual Entry Signal
Once the entry criteria are confirmed, an arrow is printed after the candle closes.
This arrow continues to print on each new candle as long as price does not violate the original entry zone — giving visual confirmation that the trade thesis is still valid.
If price breaks above/below the quarter range, the arrow disappears.
This ongoing confirmation is useful for staying in trades, managing risk, or spotting failed setups early.
Automatic Stop Loss Level
A horizontal Stop Loss line is drawn from the extreme wick of the original dot candle.
For buy entries, SL is placed below the green dot candle's low.
For sell entries, SL is placed above the red dot candle's high.
This provides immediate risk context — perfect for traders using limit orders or looking to scale in.
Coding Logic:
This script uses plotshape() and plot() functions for all visual elements.
Dot candles are identified using quarter-range logic via:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
close >= high - (high - low) * 0.25 // for bullish
close <= low + (high - low) * 0.25 // for bearish
Entry validation logic triggers only on the next candle, using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
low >= quarterLine and low <= high // for buy entries
high <= quarterLine and high >= low // for sell entries
Arrows and SL lines are plotted only on closed candles, ensuring non-repainting behavior.
alertcondition() is used for real-time alerts on valid buy/sell triggers.
How I Personally Use It:
I wait for a dot to print — this shows directional conviction.
On the next candle, I watch for a tap into the outer quarter.
If the wick meets the criteria and the candle closes, I’ll execute manually at the close of that candle.
As long as the arrow remains on the chart, I know the setup hasn’t been invalidated.
I combine this with market structure, session timing, and liquidity context to build confluence around each trade.
Alerts Included:
Buy Entry Alert: When a green arrow prints (entry confirmed)
Sell Entry Alert: When a red arrow prints (entry confirmed)
These fire once per confirmed signal, allowing you to react in real-time or automate if desired.
Who This Is For:
Manual traders who want clean price-based entries
Anyone who uses market structure, SMC, or liquidity concepts
Traders looking to replace indicators with pure candle logic
Discretionary or semi-systematic traders who want visual tools to guide their decisions
Final Word
Apex Edge – Vantage doesn’t predict price — it shows you where price is offering you control.
This is a surgical tool designed to help you act only when the market gives you a measurable edge — and to stay in the trade as long as that edge holds.
If you're ready to stop chasing trades and start striking from a position of Vantage, then this tool belongs on your chart.

Normalized Fibonacci Retracement (MTF/LOG)A question: Instead of creating indicators that constantly plot Fibonacci Retracement levels in a visually overwhelming way, why don't we redefine them on a different scale? 🤨
Overview
The Normalized Fibonacci Retracement indicator converts price data to a 0-100 scale based on the selected timeframe's high-low range, displaying normalized candlesticks alongside standard Fibonacci levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%). This normalization reveals patterns that may be hidden in absolute price charts and allows consistent analysis across different instruments.
Originality
By normalizing prices to percentages, this indicator enables pattern recognition independent of absolute price levels. The same formation at $10-$20 and $1000-$2000 appears identical on the normalized scale, helping traders identify recurring structures across various assets and timeframes.
Concepts
The indicator uses a simple formula to transform price data into percentages. This creates a bounded scale where patterns become comparable regardless of the underlying asset's price range. The normalized view often reveals symmetries and relationships not visible in traditional price charts.
Mechanics
The system tracks highs and lows within the selected timeframe as anchor points. When a new period begins, fresh boundaries are established and prices recalculated. Trend direction is determined by timing of extremes. Linear scaling uses direct percentage calculation, while logarithmic scaling applies exponential interpolation for assets with large percentage moves.
Functions
Timeframe Selection: Higher timeframe analysis on any chart resolution
Normalized Display: OHLC data converted to 0-100 percentage scale
Fibonacci Levels: Standard retracement levels plotted automatically
Scaling Options: Linear or logarithmic calculation methods
Pattern Recognition: Reveals formations hidden in absolute price charts
Moving Average: Optional 20-period SMA overlay
Notes
Ensure chart data covers the full selected timeframe for accurate calculations. Use logarithmic scaling for volatile assets with large percentage moves. The normalized scale is effective at revealing patterns and structures that remain consistent across different price ranges, making it particularly useful for comparative analysis and pattern-based trading strategies.
I hope it helps everyone. Do not forget to manage your risk. And trade as safely as possible. Best of luck!

Rolling Log Returns [BackQuant]Rolling Log Returns
The Rolling Log Returns indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders, quants, and data-driven analysts evaluate the dynamics of price changes using logarithmic return analysis. Widely adopted in quantitative finance, log returns offer several mathematical and statistical advantages over simple returns, making them ideal for backtesting, portfolio optimization, volatility modeling, and risk management.
What Are Log Returns?
In quantitative finance, logarithmic returns are defined as:
ln(Pₜ / Pₜ₋₁)
or for rolling periods:
ln(Pₜ / Pₜ₋ₙ)
where P represents price and n is the rolling lookback window.
Log returns are preferred because:
They are time additive : returns over multiple periods can be summed.
They allow for easier statistical modeling , especially when assuming normally distributed returns.
They behave symmetrically for gains and losses, unlike arithmetic returns.
They normalize percentage changes, making cross-asset or cross-timeframe comparisons more consistent.
Indicator Overview
The Rolling Log Returns indicator computes log returns either on a standard (1-period) basis or using a rolling lookback period , allowing users to adapt it to short-term trading or long-term trend analysis.
It also supports a comparison series , enabling traders to compare the return structure of the main charted asset to another instrument (e.g., SPY, BTC, etc.).
Core Features
✅ Return Modes :
Normal Log Returns : Measures ln(price / price ), ideal for day-to-day return analysis.
Rolling Log Returns : Measures ln(price / price ), highlighting price drift over longer horizons.
✅ Comparison Support :
Compare log returns of the primary instrument to another symbol (like an index or ETF).
Useful for relative performance and market regime analysis .
✅ Moving Averages of Returns :
Smooth noisy return series with customizable MA types: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, and Linear Regression.
Applicable to both primary and comparison series.

Live Price Watermark (Flashing Overlay)Displays the current price as a large, centered watermark directly on your chart. The text color updates dynamically:
- Green when price rises
- Red when price falls
- Translucent black when unchanged
Gold DynamicThis is a custom-made TradingView indicator designed to visualize "sequential price levels" based on a user-defined step value, dynamically centered around the current gold price. It draws horizontal lines at multiples of a chosen step value (e.g., 7) both above and below the current price.
Key Features:
Dynamic Price Levels: Lines are calculated relative to the live price, providing relevant support/resistance or structural levels for the current market context.
Customizable Step Value: Easily adjust the Sequence Step Value (e.g., 7, 10, 14) from the indicator settings to align with your trading theory.
Adjustable Line Count: Control the Number of Lines ABOVE Current Price and Number of Lines BELOW Current Price to show as many or as few levels as desired.
Extended Lines: Horizontal lines extend indefinitely to both the left (historical data) and right (future projection) for comprehensive visualization.
Clear Price Labels: Each line displays its exact price value, positioned at the far right of the chart for quick reference.
Customizable Appearance: Modify line color, width, and style (solid, dotted, dashed) to suit your charting preferences.
Exact Values: All displayed price labels are rounded to whole numbers for clear, precise visualization without decimal values.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to apply a fixed-step price theory to their gold analysis.
